A Analysis of 265 Samples of Calcium_Oxalate Concrements in the Uropoetic Tract in Patients of the Osijek Region

This article presents the results of an analysis of ingredients in urolithiasis with special attention to calcium-oxalate stones. This work was done in a complex research program in the field of urolithiasis in Croatia. The results were compared with the results in other countries. Infrared spectrometry was used analyzing the concrements. From 406 analyzed stones, 265 (or 65.24%) mainly consisted of calcium-oxalate. Pure calcium-oxalate was found in178 analyzed calculi or in 43,84%. In 78 patients (or19,21%), it was combiend with phosphate as the result of uroinfection. The male patients had an average age of 46,17 years and the women had an average age of 42,84 years. Almost all stones werw located in the upper part of the urinary tract and most of them were solitary. When comparing the results of this calcium-oxalate resarch study with the results of other authors, we conclude that the results achieved are similar to those in the industrialized developed countries of Europe.
